image profile vs ESXi version different?
Hi,
We have update our ESXi's to version 5.5 update2. From ESXi:
But, when I see SUmmary TAB of ESXi on the vcenter, it says image profile is on version 5.5 update1 "(Updated) ESXi-5.5u1-1746018-RC-IBM_ 20140521'. See image attached.
My questions?
1- Why if I update all ESXi image profile says it's on version 5.5 update1?
2- Should I have to update image profile to versiopn 5.5 update2?
All updates were done using Vcenter Update manager.
Please, teel me if you need some other information.
Thanks.

No issue at all. Just curious because it showed an old version.
So, every time I update ESXi to a new version, image profile,on vcenter, will show the original version? How can I list which image profiles I have installed without reboot in recovery mode?

Thanks Andrew!
2. no.
it's the version which is running which matters, and that's 5.5 U2.
What's the issue ?
The image profile, shows what the original (previous version was), and if you have issues with the current version you can rollback to the older version, in Recovery Mode, by selecting Shift-R at ESXi boot.
You could have multiple profiles, in your ESXi OS, and you can select a profile to update, when you update.
